TT 2017: Today’s racing and qualifying will not go ahead due to poor weather conditions

Clerk of the course, Gary Thompson has confirmed that racing and qualifying will not go ahead on the Isle of Man TT mountain course today, in light of the increasingly poor weather conditions to hit the island.

After consultation with the Met Office, and following the onslaught of wind and rain over the last 12 hours (which has had the best of trees, fences, tents, and even marshalls huts across the Isle of Man) – Gary Thompson was left with little choice but to cancel today’s racing.

The updated schedule will be announced later today – and here’s hoping the forecast improves as there’s still plenty of racing to get in before the end of the week.

If you’re on the island and fancy catching a bit of high speed action, then head down to Ramsey – where the Ramsey Sprints will be taking place…
